Think it's black. I think I remember the knock sensor being dark blue. If you have one you suspect is it, ground it with key on and see if fan runs - the switch grounds that wire when gets up to temp.

Re: Fan switch temp sensor wire

On my 92 RS the fan switch wire is green w/ white stripe that goes to the fan relay. Relay has three more wires going to it. Thick red (power), black w/ red stripe To fan, skinny wire( black or grey?) that is I believe switched 12v . Fan switch grounds out the relay and sends power to the fan. Don't know if V6 is the same, mine's the 5.0 TBI. With key on, ground it like newbie said for test
